pg. 56-80
1) “I am worried about my luggage—one piece with underwear and ironed blue shirt and pants for the big fandango in NYC.” (59)
From what I got from this quotes was sarcasm about his suitcase because he only has only few of things. It seems like he is making fun of people who have almost all of their things in their bags and they are traveling with it. Like how he thinks it’s funny how he can get by with three pieces of clothing while people bring extra clothes for ‘just in case” situations. It shows that he does not take a lot of things when he travels.
2) “La noche was all around me, expect for the tiny light da la tiendita.” (71)
He has been in the dark for a long time and being freezing outside and waiting for the time when he can go inside. It means that the light is the only way he can be free from the darkness that surrounds him. He wants get out of the darkness and be in a place where it’ warm. The light is where he wants to be, which means he is achieving his goal by reaching to the light. Inorder to reach his goal he needs to keep moving foward.
